Malik Architecture's J-House in Mumbai's Khar neighborhood seeks to harmonize high-rise living with the principles of vernacular architecture, addressing urban housing challenges such as loss of greenery and human scale. By replacing low-rise homes with a geometrically faceted residential tower, the design reintroduces porosity to the street and promotes interaction between public and private spaces. Each unit features traditional elements like courtyards and jaali screens that enhance climate responsiveness and spatial connectivity, creating a layered facade that visually connects occupants with their environment.
Malik Architecture's J-House balances high-rise living with the adaptable elements of vernacular architecture, addressing urban challenges while reconnecting with the neighborhood's essence.
